24. Steven Chu, Former Bell Labs Researcher, Wins Nobel In Physics Using lasers to trap and cool molecules for study. Nobel Prize for chu, Phillips, and CohenTannoudji. http://www.bell-labs.com/user/feature/archives/chu/

Former Bell Labs Scientist Steven Chu Wins Nobel Prize The idea of using lasers to trap and cool molecules for study began over a lunchtable conversation at Bell Labs in Holmdel, N.J. more than 10 years ago. Today, because of his idea, former Bell Labs researcher Steven Chu is one Nobel Prize in Physics richer. Holmdel, N.J (October, 1997) An idea that sprang up over lunch at a Bell Labs cafeteria a little more than a decade ago has led Steven Chu to the most coveted honor in science. On Oct. 15, the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Chu, now at Stanford University, and two others, William Phillips and Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, for their development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light. Steven Chu The research that drew the attention of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences began at Bell Labs in Holmdel. A dozen years ago, Arthur Ashkin and Chu used to discuss physics regularly at the Holmdel cafeteria. They were interested in manipulating atoms at low temperatures. An idea that arose during one of those lunches led to a series of experiments by Chu, Ashkin, John Bjorkholm, Alex Cable, and Leo Holberg. Chu left Bell Labs in 1987 to take up a professorship at Stanford, where he continued his work in low-temperature physics. Ashkin Pioneered "Optical Trapping"

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL In this family of accomplished scholars, I was to become the academic black sheep. I performed adequately at school, but in comparison to my older brother, who set the record for the highest cumulative average for our high school, my performance was decidedly mediocre. I studied, but not in a particularly efficient manner. Occasionally, I would focus on a particular school project and become obsessed with, what seemed to my mother, to be trivial details instead of apportioning the time I spent on school work in a more efficient way. I approached the bulk of my schoolwork as a chore rather than an intellectual adventure. The tedium was relieved by a few courses that seem to be qualitatively different. Geometry was the first exciting course I remember. Instead of memorizing facts, we were asked to think in clear, logical steps. Beginning from a few intuitive postulates, far reaching consequences could be derived, and I took immediately to the sport of proving theorems. I also fondly remember several of my English courses where the assigned reading often led to binges where I read many books by the same author. I also developed an interest in sports, and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football, baseball, basketball and occasionally, ice hockey. In the eighth grade, I taught myself tennis by reading a book, and in the following year, I joined the school team as a "second string" substitute, a position I held for the next three years. I also taught myself how to pole vault using bamboo poles obtained from the local carpet store. I was soon able to clear 8 feet, but was not good enough to make the track team.

Chu, Steven (b. Feb. 28, 1948, St. Louis, Mo., U.S.), American physicist who, with Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and William D. Phillips , was awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize for Physics for their independent, pioneering research in cooling and trapping atoms using laser light. In 1985 Chu and his coworkers used an array of intersecting laser beams to create an effect they called "optical molasses," in which the speed of target atoms was reduced from about 4,000 kilometres per hour to about one kilometre per hour, as if the atoms were moving through thick molasses. The temperature of the slowed atoms approached absolute zero (-273.15 C, or -459.67 F). Chu and his colleagues also developed an atomic trap using lasers and magnetic coils that enabled them to capture and study the chilled atoms. Phillips and Cohen-Tannoudji expanded on Chu's work, devising ways to use lasers to trap atoms at temperatures even closer to absolute zero. These techniques make it possible for scientists to improve the accuracy of atomic clocks used in space navigation, to construct atomic interferometers that can precisely measure gravitational forces, and to design atomic lasers that can be used to manipulate electronic circuits at an extremely fine scale.

Chu, Steven In 1950, we settled in Garden City, New York, a bedroom community within commuting distance of Brooklyn Polytechnic. There were only two other Chinese families in this town of 25,000, but to our parents, the determining factor was the quality of the public school system. Education in my family was not merely emphasized, it was our raison d'être. Virtually all of our aunts and uncles had Ph.D.'s in science or engineering, and it was taken for granted that the next generation of Chu's were to follow the family tradition. When the dust had settled, my two brothers and four cousins collected three MDs, four Ph.D.s and a law degree. I could manage only a single advanced degree. In this family of accomplished scholars, I was to become the academic black sheep.

Since 1987, Chu has been a professor of physics at Stanford University. For the previous nine years he was at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey; there he did the research that led to his 1997 Nobel Prize in physics, which he shared with Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and William D. Phillips, for methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light. Chu received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1976 and was a post-doctoral fellow there until 1978. He got his B.S. in 1970 from the University of Rochester. He graduated from Garden City High School in Garden City, New York, as a self-described "A-minus student — and by my family's standards, this was appalling."

Bell Labs Home About Bell Labs History Awards ... FAQs Steven Chu, former Bell Labs researcher, wins Nobel in physics SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Oct. 15, 1997) Steven Chu of Stanford University, a former researcher at Bell Labs, was named a winner of this year's Nobel Prize in physics. Chu, 49, and two other scientists were cited for developing ways to cool atoms to extremely low temperatures with laser light, techniques used in other fields of science as well as physics. It was at Bell Labs that in 1983 he began the work that led to the Nobel. Chu shares the prize with William D. Phillips of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology and Claude Cohen-Tannoudji of France. This year is the second in a row that the physics prize has gone for work done at temperatures of near-absolute zero, the point at which all movement theoretically stops. Last year's prize went to Americans David M. Lee, Robert C. Richardson and Douglas C. Osheroff for discovering that a helium isotope behaves in unusual ways at extremely low temperatures. Osheroff also once did research at Bell Labs. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in awarding Chu the Nobel, said the new laureates' work "may lead to the design of more-precise atomic clocks for use in space navigation and accurate determination of position."

V roce 1985 Chu a jeho spolupracovníci dosáhli pùsobením pole rùznobìžných laserových paprskù efektu, který je znám pod jménem optical molasses . Rychlost cílových atomù se pøi prùchodu hustým optickým prostøedím zbrzdí z asi 4000 km/h na asi jeden km/h. Teplota odpovídající rychlosti takto se pohybujících atomù se blíží absolutní nule -273,15° C . Tato technologie umožòuje vìdcùm zvýšit pøesnost atomových hodin používaných k navigaci v kosmu, konstruovat interferometry, které jsou schopny zachytit gravitaèní vlny a navrhovat lasery, které mohou pracovat s extrémnì jemnými a malými elektronickými obvody. Technologie ochlazování atomù laserem umožnila získání Bose-Einsteinova kondenzátu plynných par kovù - nového stavu hmoty, který byl objeven roce 1995 ( Eric Cornell Wolfgang Ketterle Carl Wieman ) a teoreticky pøedpovìzen v sedmdesátých letech Albertem Einsteinem a Satyedrou Bosem
